VitaMix Blender: Are the newer plexi containers interchangeable with the old metal ones for this machine?

My in-laws had the old one from the 70s & ordered a new pitcher recently & it fit

yes. I bought one of these because the original one failed. Not the best design but it is the only one they make for this blender.

Yes. Where the upper and lower parts hook together, there is plastic on both ends. I use my Krups about once a week, and I have absolutely NO problems. I love the unit. It was a little more powerful than other immersion blenders. I would buy it again if given the chance.

Yes! The plastic strainers I put on the top rack. The blender containers break down to a couple parts, super easy, and I put them in the top rack too!

I don't know, I have the older 64 oz container. Definitely worth a call to Vitamix to find out.

Sorry I can't help you with this one, Have you thought of calling or looking on the internet for replacements parts. I've never looked to see how they were made, I wonder if plexglass will work (??) You could use it as is at least your not loosing the whole thing'Good Luck!

No, this one is too long for the low profile 64 oz. container. Call Vitamix Customer Service. You can get a replacement tamper through them.

No, I bought it for mine and it is much smaller than the one that would have fit my blender.

No, the tamper that came with your machine is 11 3/8" . . .this one is 12.75". Call Vitamix as they don't currently offer the right tamper on their site but may be able to send you one just the same.

It's been a while since I installed mine, but I remember wondering about that and deciding that the plastic was interchangeable. I would say the probability is about 90% that you can just swap out the plastic with the new one. I am seldom 100% certain about anything :-)

I purchased this container for a Vitamix that was 10 years old. The model that has only two speeds. It fit fine. I don't believe the container has changed on any of the models. The blades from the old fit this new container and it was fine.

My blender is an oldie too, I believe the gasket will fit, it fit mine with no problems with leakage. Happy pureeing.

I believe this dry container is supposed to work with all of the modern vitamix models but you might want to contact the nice folks at vitamix just to make sure. I bought the mini tamper for the 32 oz. container and feel that it does a FAR better job grinding with the help of the tamper than without. I've only ground both coffee beans for my expresso pot and wheat berries for my bread machine so far but have been VERY pleased with the results:) Fresh ground flour tastes better than ANYTHING you can purchase from the local healthfood or specialty gourmet store. The only two drawbacks I've found with this container so far are: 1 - the noise, ( pretty BAD! Cover your ears when grinding!). 2 - Get your kitchen timer running when you flip the switch because grinding for OVER 2 min. will make the flour compact and damage your motor! (there's a bright blue paper in the container's box warning you about this). Other than that, getting this container and the smaller tamper would be fantastic for anyone who has a vitamix and wants to expand upon it's capabilities..

I contacted Vitamix about other matters and found them very helpful. So I would recommend chatting directly with them. My Vitamix is 5000 and I know it works with that blender. You should be using the canister/container as well not the wet mix/liquid that goes (mates) with the dry mix blade.

I have the 5200, the 64oz container and it is perfect. Here is the link for more information on it. Good luck!https://secure.vitamix.com/Tamper.aspx

Carl, I'm not sure about the model we purchased, because this item didn't fit our nut and had to be returned. Of course Vitamix would want you to purchase from them and you know how they cost. Buying from the outside market is reasonable, but may have some Q.A. issues, which is what I discovered. Good luck.

Whoops, sorry, I didn't read the website closely enough, this is what it said:"All parts are obsolete - No substitutions are available." So sorry. Maybe bestto just invest in a good blender. :P
